Two minutes later, Khloe followed up her missive with another message. She wrote, “Keeping secrets is hard with so many family members! Especially when you are so freaking excited!!!!! LOVE is everything!!!!”

One of West’s pals, musician Malik Yusef, also took the social network site, writing:

Well at least I wasn’t the 1 who told the world,but congrats @kaynewest and kimkardashian — Malik Yusef (@malikyusef) December 31, 2012

The “Gold Digger” singer left the New Jersey audience stunned with the baby announcement — which was captured on cameras and posted on YouTube early on Monday morning.

In a blog post this week, Kim hinted at possible morning sickness, writing that she picked up an illness on Christmas Day and was forced to leave a Los Angeles Clippers game.

“I started to feel a little ill (I caught the flu over the Christmas holidays!) so Kanye and I left at half time,” she wrote.

It is understood she is about 12 weeks pregnant.

Kim and West started dating in April.

Kim, who is still fighting to legally end her 72-day marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries, said in October that she couldn’t imagine being with anyone apart from the rapper for the rest of her life.

“It’s so nice to have a best friend in this game who understands everything you’re going through. Being with someone I’ve known for so many years is comforting,” she told Tatler magazine.

“He’s been there through so many different stages of my life and before I was famous, so this relationship is a different thing entirely. It’s good to be aware that he definitely doesn’t want anything from me too, because he understands the business.

“I can’t even think about being with anyone else than the man I’m with.”

Khloe deserves a baby more than Kim! Khloe needs to do what Giuliana and Bill Rancic did!

in case you didn’t realize, you don’t just magically get a child because you “deserve it”. It’s sad that she can’t have a kid, but that’s no reason to talk bad about someone else’s pregnancy simply because you don’t want her to have a kid.

Mohammad

Oops ;)

andrea

Haha… say goodbye to your money maker sweetie!! Aka her body :-)

Logan

18 years, 18 years. She got one of yo’ kids, got you for 18 years.

I agree with everyone that these two are annoying in the celebrity world and I wish they would go away but keep it in perspective there are a ton of criminals and drug addicts who have children every day. While these two irk me there are tons of bad people out there way worse than these two having kids. I wish the media would stop covering these two but with West’s continuing to have platinum albums and Kim having a show on tv I doubt it will happen.

I for one think she should get a divorce first. I mean it really is going to look good when her baby with kanye is born and has to take the name of her husband humphries!…She needs to pay the guy what he wants and be with kanye and have this baby so as the baby isnt embarassed and talked about because of its mother. She is a ridiculous spoiled air head that needs to learn not everyone thinks she is great

Silk

How ignorant are you? There is no law that says Women are obligated to name their children after their legal ‘husband’. She can name her child whatever she wants. You expect her to put her life on hold and wait indefinitely for her husband to get some integrity and give her the divorce? Please. This comment is just as ridiculous as you seem to think Kim is.

Patti

Its trashy to not wait for the divorce. But then it was trashy to build a career on a porn tape and fake a marriage for TV ratings. Silk says its her husband that needs some integrity but its Kim who needs to look that word up. This baby is going to be sold to the media by its family – poor thing.

amy

seriously you r either bitter , a busy body or weird. 1) sometimes a baby isnt planned and can be amazing, 2) why the hell would her baby have her husbands name ? what century do u live in and 3) leave people alone if u dont like them fine but why feel the need to put it on the internet ? to hurt that persons feelings? they are human you know.

JustSoYouKnow

Depending the state the baby is born, some require married women to register their children as that of their legal husbands and then settle the paternity issues afterwards. At least, that is definitely the case in MA.

danielle

Actually Kim and Kanye would choose the babies last name.

Boouh

The baby going to be gorgeous

Congratulations! Really happy for this couple )

Lucy(Norway)

AlaBella

Dear Lord! Since she’s not even divorced yet, will the baby have Kris Humpries’ name or Kanye’s?

R.

i don’t like this. the family was trying to keep secret and the guy goes and says it in a concert?. worst than them hein?. don’t like. prob. cause people were telling that he’s gay. prob. is. hope she doesn’t read these comments and stays happy.

BB

It’s customary to keep your baby news secret until the 12th week, when the pregnancy becomes more viable (most miscarriages tend to occur in the first 12 weeks). This was how they chose to announce it, so Kim would definitely have been involved. They couldn’t have kept it a secret for ever, that’s for sure! :)

dee

I am very happy for both Kanye and Kim…They have both been through alot. Kim marrying and dating the wrong men, and Kanye hooking up with the wrong women for him. They are a perfect fit because of their lifestyles and I for one think that if anyone can find someone they genuiline LIKE, and it can blossom from a good friendship to a great love..I wish them the best..Kim’s ex husband needs to let her go and let her live, because he is doing his own thang! As for the rest of you, stop hating on the girl…You don’t know shit about her, and what she is going through! I wish both her and Kanye the best!!!

beautybitch

omg i’m SO happy for them.. i think that she’s gonna be a great mother

I am soooooo happy for them!!! :-)
I called every1 to break that news! Well congrats to you both, & it’s sad, but I’m sure you’re gonna have your fair share of haters!!

Jennifer Wiseman

I am happy for the both of them. It’s amazing how many people take the time to read the article and leave negative, hateful comments. Do you really think either one of them actually care what any of you think? You’re only making yourself look bitter and hateful.

jodiekardashian

Congratulations kim and Kanye all my love Jodie x

mike hunt

Since when do we as a society care to learn that a pornstar is pregnant?

hotwasabi21

This family is so tabloid obsessed, even her own family calls her and Kanye, Kimye! How ridiculous! They had to have some sort of big event to keep ratings up, if Kourtney isn’t going to marry her baby daddy, then lets make Kanye a baby daddy!

Its such as you learn my mind! You appear to grasp a lot about this, such as you wrote the guide in it or something. I feel that you just can do with a few percent to drive the message home a little bit, however other than that, that is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.
